Carvalhal has conceded the 25-year-old has been unfortunate with his lack of action but is confident the former Wigan Athletic trainee still has a big part to play in their promotion push.

He told The Star: “Callum deserves probably more than what we are giving to him.

“He is working hard but he’s not had chances as we have been winning the games. He had a chance to play against Brentford. It was not a surprise to me how he played. He’s working very well and we are very happy with him.”
